What is Skip Counting?
Skip counting is working on adding the same number over and over. You have a pattern of adding or counting.
So if you skip counting by 2s, you have a pattern like, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and so forth. These patterns can be repeated for many numbers.
The most often numbers used are 2 through 12. And that is what these printables work on is numbers 2 through 12 skip counting.
Each of the Dinosaur Counting Mats works on a single skip counting number and kids skip counting by that number 12 times. You can see one of the skip counting mats below.
The skip counting mat has the dinosaur footprints for the skip counting numbers. If you plan on using the mats a lot I recommend printing them on white cardstock and laminating.
